2. Have fun and workout: Have you considered spicing up your workout time with a little bit of fun like playing songs or watching your favorite TV show while working out, whether you’re at the gym or at home. You can hit the treadmill with your earpiece on, this will motivate you to do more.

3.Do what works for you: Going to the gym is fun and motivating, you can see other fitness enthusiast like yourself but if you have a busy schedule and going to the gym isn’t convenient, you can opt for at-home workout.

4.Join a Challenge: You can slide into a challenge, either on social media or your group of friends. Challenges like, weight loss challenge, squat challenge, daily exercise challenge etc. Seeing others participate will trigger your interest to give it a shot.

You can resort to this option for some days in a week, not basically everyday. Sleeping in your exercise clothes would help you hit the gym once you’re out of bed or exercise at home.

6.Use a fitness App: Using a fitness App will go a long way, it’s really of importance if you’re doing at-home workout, you can schedule daily workout that focus on different fitness goals using the App.
